It is shown that every polynomial function $P : \mathbb{C}^2\longrightarrow \mathbb{C}$ with irreducible fibres of same a genus is a coordinate. In consequence, there does not exist counterexamples F = (P,Q) to the Jacobian conjecture such…

We determine the maximum number of rational points on a curve over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with fixed gonality and small genus.

For every odd prime number p, we give examples of non-constant smooth families of genus 2 curves over fields of characteristic p which have pro-Galois (pro-\'etale) covers of infinite degree with geometrically connected fibers. The…

We study the family of algebraic curves of genus $\geq 1$ defined by the affine equations $y^s=ax^r+b$ over a number field $k$, where $r \geq 2$ and $s\geq 2$ are fixed integers. Assuming the strong version of Lang's conjecture on varieties…

A group element is called generalized torsion if a finite product of its conjugates is equal to the identity. We show that in a finitely generated abelian-by-finite group, an element is generalized torsion if and only if its image in the…

An elliptic curve $E$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ is said to be good if $N_{E}^{6}<\max\!\left\{ \left\vert c_{4}^{3}\right\vert ,c_{6}^{2}\right\} $ where $N_{E}$ is the conductor of $E$ and $c_{4}$ and $c_{6}$ are the invariants associated to a…

In 2000, Galbraith and McKee heuristically derived a formula that estimates the probability that a randomly chosen elliptic curve over a fixed finite prime field has a prime number of rational points. We show how their heuristics can be…

Using divisors, an analog of the Jacobian for a compact connected nonorientable Klein surface $Y$ is constructed. The Jacobian is identified with the dual of the space of all harmonic real one-forms on $Y$ quotiented by the torsion-free…

We use a simple description of the outer automorphism of S_6 to cleanly describe the invariant theory of six points in P^1, P^2, and P^3.

In this paper we study genus 2 curves whose Jacobians admit a polarized (4,4)-isogeny to a product of elliptic curves. We consider base fields of characteristic different from 2 and 3, which we do not assume to be algebraically closed. We…

Although it is not known which groups can appear as torsion groups of elliptic curves over cubic number fields, it is known which groups can appear for infinitely many non-isomorphic curves. We denote the set of these groups as $S$. In this…

It is well known that the rational torsion of an abelian variety defined over a number field injects into the reduction modulo any sufficiently large prime, so the order of the torsion group divides the greatest common divisor of the sizes…

In this paper, we classify torsion groups of rational Mordell curves explicitly over cubic fields as well as over sextic fields. Also, we classify torsion groups of Mordell curves over cubic fields and for Mordell curves over sextic fields,…

Periodic points are points on Veech surfaces, whose orbit under the group of affine diffeomorphisms is finite. We characterise those points as being torsion points if the Veech surfaces is suitably mapped to its Jacobian or an appropriate…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be an irreducible plane curve of $\text{PG}(2,\mathbb{K})$ where $\mathbb{K}$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p\geq 0$. A point $Q\in \mathcal{C}$ is an inner Galois point for $\mathcal{C}$ if the…

The main result of this note is that there are at most seven rational points (including the one at infinity) on the curve C_A with the affine equation y^2 = x^5 + A (where A is a tenth power free integer) when the Mordell-Weil rank of the…

Genus 5 curves can be hyperelliptic, trigonal, or non-hyperelliptic non-trigonal, whose model is a complete intersection of three quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^4$. We present and explain algorithms we used to determine, up to isomorphism over…

We describe the intersection of the Torelli locus $j(\mathcal{M}_4^{ct}) = \mathcal{J}_4$ with Newton and Ekedahl-Oort strata related to the supersingular locus in characteristic two. We show that the locus of supersingular Jacobians…

An important problem in computational arithmetic geometry is to find changes of coordinates to simplify a system of polynomial equations with rational coefficients. This is tackled by a combination of two techniques, called minimisation and…

To every singular reduced projective curve X one can associate many fine compactified Jacobians, depending on the choice of a polarization on X, each of which yields a modular compactification of a disjoint union of the generalized Jacobian…
